I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor for adults who navigate life fairly well but recognize some thoughts or behaviors are holding them back.

Children and teens face unprecedented pressures in a rapidly changing society. A significant number of young people often struggle with the pressure to keep up, especially when they observe their peers effortlessly navigating socially and academically. This disparity can intensify their feelings of inadequacy, highlighting the necessity for extra guidance and support to help them thrive. While some children and teens benefit from current trends, these approaches are not universally effective. Individuals with unique needs often find themselves expected to adapt to environments that do not always accommodate their differences.

Hi, my name is Renz! I love working with children (7+), teens, and young adults up to 26 who are navigating big emotions, identity, relationships, or life transitions. Many come in feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck; especially youth connected to behavioral health, juvenile justice, or LGBTQ+ experiences.
With 8+ years of experience in social work and as a Filipino immigrant, I bring cultural humility and deep respect for your story. Together, we will create a safe, supportive space to build coping skills, strengthen self-understanding, and help you move forward with confidence and clarity.

Tell me if this sounds familiar— you and your partner aren’t seeing eye-to-eye on an issue. This turns into a frustrating argument with hurt feelings, and one of you wants to fix things right now, while the other wants a break. In the meantime, both of you feel unheard and are becoming more disconnected from each other. Maybe you aren’t struggling in a relationship, but you don’t have motivation or excitement in life. You have tried pushing through hard days, but it doesn’t seem to be working and you want a new path forward. Whatever your road to arrive on my profile, I am so glad you did. Let me explain how I might be able to help.

You look capable on the outside, but inside, you're running constant damage control. Your shoulders stay tense, your jaw clenches, and your mind is always scanning for what could go wrong. Even when the day ends, you can't seem to turn off. As a high-achieving or highly sensitive (HSP) woman or teen girl, you may feel like you are constantly bracing against the world. Moving from survival to internal safety requires more than just managing symptoms; it requires understanding the story your body is telling. I help clients across the Grand Canyon State finally feel safe in their own skin.

Seeking out a therapist and entering therapy can sometimes be an intimidating prospect. My goal as a therapist is to create a therapeutic environment that puts a client at ease and supports self-exploration in a safe, comfortable atmosphere. A client's desire for growth and change is a very personal journey and I believe in an individualized approach that supports each person's expressed need. Life is littered with suffering in different forms and I want to aid my clients in developing a deeper understanding of this suffering and meaning to what may feel meaningless.
Telehealth in CA and in-person/telehealth for AZ clients.

I help adults struggling with anxiety, overthinking, emotional overwhelm, and trauma-related patterns affecting relationships and self-confidence.
Do you find yourself constantly overthinking—running the same thoughts over and over, but still feeling stuck? Stress may be impacting your relationships, your work, or how you see yourself. You’re not looking to just talk—you want clarity, relief, and real, practical change.

I help people find healing from their past trauma, body image struggles, and difficulties with self-worth or self-esteem.
I am able to hold the tension of being both gentle and easygoing in session, while also providing structure and being open and forthcoming with clients. I view therapy as a collaborative process and trust my client’s intuition and internal wisdom to guide their decisions.

I think most of us can't get through life unscathed or without wounds. Whether as children or adults, those closest to us may not know the depth of our pain or how to help us heal. And we may not know how to express that pain. This is where having a sacred time and space can be pivotal in healing from events robbing us of our sense of well being as we navigate life. My goal for every client is that you can learn to love yourself and know deeply that you can handle life, no matter how it goes. You can turn a corner in an EMDR session - from 'I'm unlovable' to 'I am fine as I am.' Or 'I can't let go' to 'it is over.' You're worth it.
